Internal Architecture
SYSTEMIC ISSUES ARE STRUCTURAL - HERE'S YOUR SLEDGEHAMMER
A podcast for designers and architecturally curious humans who want to identify the invisible structures in their daily lives.
What would you need to hear to be convinced that architecture is more than the buildings we see around us? What would it take for us as humans to confront and redesign the structure of our very own perspectives, beliefs, and conditioning as a means to creating systemic change. In this podcast we will see that our work is not only in the details of drawing, but in the details of our everyday life and the potential of a great conversation.
Welcome to Internal Architecture - Class is in session but instead of walking into a stale room with rows of desks it’s a virtual space filled with inspiring and radical conversations all in the comfort of your own home. Get ready to learn, listen, and question "How the f*ck is this related to architecture?"
Warm squeezes and happy listening,
Professionally of course ;)

FROM GOD COMPLEX TO GROUNDED | INTERDEPENDENCE & TREES
This episode starts off with a guided spatial exercise, followed by some quick and dirty architectural theory, followed by a case made for interdependence. Internal architecture bridges the internal and the external, exploring work that is both intimate and professional, abstract and practical. This episode is just the beginning to future conversations we will have on this topic in the future!
